> The Class::forName behavior change to match JNI FindClass is a compatible change and seems pretty attractive as it would be expected that Class::forName would give the same behavior as FindClass which uses the system classloader.  The test for 8281006 was enhanced to test for this change.  Merged master to pick up fixes to unrelated test failures to reduce noise.
